Very Interesting book!

This was the first book i ever read from ''The Nightmare Room'', and i can say that its pretty good. I didint even like horror books when i got it, but when i started reading it, it just changed my life. After this book i started getting more interested in other books, and The Nightmare Room turned out to be my favorite collection of books ever. Today im still a fanatic for these books, and i really recommend you get this book for you or your son or daughter over the age of 9. This book has an interesting story of Horror and Suspense.

Good book in the series, but not the very best.

Alex likes to bet. It's his habit, and it often gets the better of him. He wants to be a millionaire when he grows up, and he can't wait to be one. But in school he likes to compete, too. He can't take the fact that a girl in his class can be so much better then him. So when his teacher asks him to write a diary, he's going to prove that he really can be the best in the class. But when he finds a strange, old diary in his basement, everything changes. This diary can predict the future -- and soon, Alex is winning every bet in the school. His peers think he can predict the future. And he really can -- and it's all because of his mysterious secret diary. Alex wants to get more and more money, but sometimes it's better not to know the future. Because the future can contain very unwanted surprises. I liked The Nightmare Room #5: Dear Diary, I'm Dead by R.L. Stine, but it wasn't the best because of the ending. That was just too expecting of R.L. Stine, reflecting his poor Goosebumps writing. But it was still very enjoyable, and a lot of fun to read.

Dear diary, i'm a review

The fifth book in the nightmare room series is one of the best. The story is good, and so are the descriptions. I highly recommend it to R. L. Stine fans. also please tell me if this review was helpful thank you. I give this book an A-

One of the best Nightmare Room books.

Twelve-year-old Alex Smith is always making bets with his friends and classmates, most of which he loses. The stakes are raised, however, when he bets Tessa, a girl who is in several of classes, that his diary, written for extra credit, will receive a higher grade than hers. What sets this bet apart from the others is that Alex bet Tessa $100. Now he's desperate. However, when he gets home and finds in his new desk a diary with an entry written by him for tomorrow, it feels as if his luck has changed. Suddenly he knows the future - and can win virtually any bet. Soon he's winning bets left and right. What Alex doesn't realize is that knowing the future comes with a price he may not be prepared to pay. This was one of my favorite books in the Nightmare Room series, topped only by Locker 13. I'd highly reccomend it to all R. L. Stine fans.
